Configuring Async PVCs
A SmartSwitch 1800 PVC is a "permanent" connection between two physical/logical
ports in a node. This allows communication between the attached devices as soon as
they are powered up, without having to first make a call to establish a connection.
Async PVC support in the SmartSwitch 1800 includes async-to-async and async-to-
X.25.
To display a list of current PVCs, press
[A]
at the PVC Configuration Menu (or
[A],
[D], [E], [A]
from the Main Menu). To add or change a PVC, press
[B]
at the PVC Con-
figuration Menu and enter a 1–4 digit
Connection ID
, which is simply a number unique
to this connection, that identifies the PVC.
